The Belgian Warmblood, developed especially for competitive and performance purposes, is a relatively new breed. Belgium has frequently been associated with the production of the heavy draft horses such as the Brabant, but since the development of the Belgian Warmblood in the 1950's, Belgium produces approximately 5,000 Belgian Warmblood foals every year and is recognized as a country of importance in the production of quality competition horses. Due to their versatility, athleticism, and superb performance, Belgian Warmbloods have become popular all over Europe and America.
